Baptism at Shauro

Seventy-four new believers were baptized on March 20, 2011 at Shauro in the Mberengwa Resettlement Area. Because there was no surface water, children helped pump water from the well to fill the tarp-lined animal watering trough. Then the baptismal candidates, as well as observers stood around and watched, singing choruses as one person left the water and another entered.



Soon to graduate seminary student, Willie Green, was given the opportunity to baptize for the first time and baptized men, women, and children of all ages.



During the baptism, this beautiful butterfly symbolically flew in and out among all those observing or waiting their turn to be baptized.



After the baptism, we all met under the shade of three shade trees to worship together.



Continue to pray for these new believers that they will grow in their knowledge and relationship with the Lord.
